During a recent interview with WWE.com, WWE Diva Lana discussed her in-ring debut at WrestleMania 32, wanting to improve and more. Here are some highlights:
On her focus on her in-ring training: “You know, and I see this in quite a few of the women and men, once they think, “Oh, we’ve reached it. We reached the main roster. We’re professionals!” — that hunger, that drive to keep on learning, to keep on perfecting your skill and getting better, they lose. I think that separates the good from the great, the icons from the good. And I want to be iconic.”
On if she thought she was ready for her WrestleMania match: “I know I can fight. I know I have kicks that can destroy people. Just because I haven’t gotten in the ring in my career, that doesn’t mean I’m not capable of crushing people. I’ve seen more in my career never having a fight than all those girls combined. Like, what girl stood face-to-face with The Rock? What girl stood face-to-face with John Cena? With Chris Jericho? With “Rowdy” Roddy Piper? I can keep going on and on. So, if you’re going to challenge me, criticize me, and you’re going to say I’m not good enough, then I’m going to kick your head off. Don’t push me.”
On whether she’s aiming for the Women’s Championship: “I don’t like telling people what my plans are because I have big plans. If I start saying “Oh, this is what I’m going to do” and “This is what I want to do,” then I know I’m a threat to other people. But I can promise you this: I will be the greatest woman to ever enter WWE, and I will leave the greatest legacy that WWE has ever seen.”
